RECEIVING scholarships at the annual graduation exercises of the Ukrainian Youth Association, are from the left John Taras, Robert Matusiak, John Kaplan and Jerry Ostafichuk, from their CHILD GUIDANCE By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD There was a time when Sun- day school and day school teachers and parents often talked to children about doing right and not doing wrong. Such discussions do not often happen today, if my observa- tion are correct. There may be many reasons why this practice in moral edu- cation has waned. One obvious reason is the philosophy widely accepted during the last 50 years, that itis not easy to dis- tinguish between right and wrong, that rightness and wrongness are relative terms. In this theory parents and teachers' were widely indoc- trinated. Many of them grew hesitant to label matters right or wrong. As a part of this philosophy of uncertainty about what is right and what is wrong, many college professors of education taught and wrote that you can't teach character with words, Be Mutually Companionable For Discussing Moral Issues may be futile but positively harmful. ' Now most any conscientious |Parent doesn't have to be a iphilosopher to guide his child of two, eight, or 12 to see that it is right to speak the truth and wrong to lie and deceive. try to act accordingly. AWARE OF TONE One reason, however, why; teaching children with words about right and wrong is that many a parent or teacher has considered himself a preacher, merely telling the child what he should do or should not do, tell- ing such with an air of author- ity, often telling it in angry sessions--wrong to steal. \It is right to respect the posses- was correct and felt an urge to|sions of other persons and wrong to appropriate these pos- It is right to respect another individual as a precious person and wrong to disrespect him, however widely he may differ in any way from you. It is right to try to imagine how you would feel in another person's place and wrong to have no re- gard for how he feels, thinking Laskowski and their Scout- master, Mrs. Michael Weres, Talk about right and wrong is futile except in the immediate situation, The only time to talk with a child about a moral is- scolding tones, It still holds true that exhor- tations jawed at a child not only only of yourself. the child about right and wrong only when he is immediately faved with a moral situation, which usually means at a time when you suspect he has done something wrong. As a rule this is the very time when he is most unfit to reason and ally least persuasive, don't suspect him of any par- ticular wrongdoing and he profit from your talk; the very time when you are least able to help him profit from your talk ~--when he is emotionally least receptive and you are emotion- I've long maintained that the \best time for you and me to talk about matters of right and wrong with a child is when we doesn't feel himself under a I never could accept the doc- cloud of suspicion. This ideal trine that you should talk with tegrity, fairness and justice, may be able to talk' about right and wron, h good effect at moments when we are mutually companion- able.
